1. A modular storage unit of a storage system, comprising:

  • at least one frame unit that includes an inner side contour that laterally surrounds an internal space and forms an open structure such that the only surface of the at least one frame unit facing toward the internal space is the inner side contour;

    at least one coupling unit that is disposed on the at least one frame unit and that includes a first coupling element and a second coupling element that corresponds with the first coupling element such that;

    the first coupling element is configured to engage with a second coupling element of a similarly configured coupling unit of a first further modular storage unit to releasably couple the modular storage unit to the first further modular storage unit, wherein releasing the first coupling element from the second coupling element of the first further modular storage unit completely separates the modular storage unit from the first further modular storage unit; and

    the second coupling element is configured to engage with a first coupling element of a similarly configured coupling unit of a second further modular storage unit to releasably couple the modular storage unit to the second further modular storage unit, wherein releasing the second coupling element from the first coupling element of the second further modular storage unit completely separates the modular storage unit from the second further modular storage unit;

    at least one functional unit embodied as an electrical device that, in an operative state, is configured to perform at least one function; and

    at least one positioning unit configured to mount the at least one functional unit in the at least one frame unit and enable the at least one function unit to move between at least;

    (i) a first position whereat the electrical device is in a transportation state, and is arranged at least essentially within the interior space, and(ii) a second position whereat the electrical device is in the operative state and is arranged so as to be at least partially outside of the internal space.
